Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Tablets
Pediatric Patients 6 years and Older: Start with 5 mg orally twice daily (before breakfast and lunch). Increase dosage gradually, in increments of 5- to 10-mgweekly.Daily dosage above 60 mg is not recommended.
Adults: Average dosage is 20 to 30 mg daily. Administer orally in divided doses 2 or 3 times daily, preferably 30 to 45 minutes before meals. Maximum total daily dosage is 60 mg.Patients who are unable to sleep if medication is taken late in the dayshould take the last dose before 6 p.m.
Pharmacological treatment of ADHD may be needed for extended periods. Periodically reevaluate the long-term use of methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets, and adjust dosage as needed.
If paradoxical worsening of symptoms or other adverse reactions occur, reduce the dosage,or, if necessary,discontinue methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets.Ifimprovement is notobservedafterappropriatedosageadjustmentover a one-monthperiod, the drugshouldbediscontinued.
Tablets
CNS stimulants,including methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets, other methylphenidate-containingproducts, and amphetamines, have a high potential for abuse and dependence. Assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing, and monitor for signs of abuse and dependence while on therapy[seeBoxed Warning, Drug Abuse and Dependence (9.2, 9.3)].
Sudden death, stroke, and myocardial infarction have been reported in adults with CNS stimulanttreatment at recommended doses. Sudden death has been reported in pediatric patients with structural cardiac abnormalities and other serious heart problems taking CNS stimulants at recommended doses for ADHD. Avoid use in patients with known serious structural cardiac abnormalities,cardiomyopathy, serious heart rhythm abnormalities,coronary artery disease, and other serious heart problems. Further evaluate patients who develop exertional chest pain, unexplained syncope, or arrhythmias during methylphenidate hydrochloride treatment.
CNS stimulants cause an increase in blood pressure (mean increaseapproximately 2 to 4 mmHg) and heart rate (mean increase approximately 3 to 6 beats per minute). Individuals may have larger increases. Monitor all patients for hypertension and tachycardia.
Exacerbation of Preexisting Psychosis
CNS stimulants may exacerbate symptoms of behavior disturbance and thought disorder in patients with a preexisting psychoticdisorder.
Induction of a Manic Episode in Patients with Bipolar Disorder
CNS stimulants may induce a manic or mixedmood episode in patients. Prior to initiating treatment, screen patients for risk factors for developing a manic episode (e.g., comorbid or history of depressive symptoms or a family history of suicide, bipolar disorder, or depression).
New Psychotic or Manic Symptoms
CNS stimulants, at recommended doses, may cause psychotic or manic symptoms (e.g., hallucinations, delusional thinking, or mania) in patients without a prior history of psychotic illness or mania. If such symptoms occur, consider discontinuing methylphenidate hydrochloride. In a pooled analysis of multipleshort-term, placebo-controlled studies of CNS stimulants,psychotic or manicsymptoms occurred in approximately 0.1% of CNSstimulant-treated patients, compared to 0 in placebo-treated patients.
Prolonged and painful erections, sometimes requiring surgical intervention, have been reported with methylphenidate products in both pediatric and adult patients. Priapism was not reported with drug initiation but developed after sometime on the drug, often subsequent to an increase in dose. Priapism has also appeared during a period of drug withdrawal (drug holidays or duringdiscontinuation).Patients who developabnormally sustained or frequent and painful erections should seek immediate medical attention.
CNS stimulants, including methylphenidate hydrochloride, used to treat ADHD are associated with peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud’s phenomenon. Signs and symptoms are usuallyintermittent and mild; however, very rare sequelae include digital ulceration and/or soft tissue breakdown. Effects of peripheral vasculopathy, including Raynaud’s phenomenon, were observed in postmarketing reports at different times and at therapeutic doses in all age groups throughoutthe course of treatment. Signs and symptomsgenerallyimprove after reduction in dose or discontinuation of drug. Careful observation for digital changes is necessary during treatment with ADHD stimulants. Further clinical evaluation (e.g., rheumatology referral) may be appropriate for certain patients.
CNS stimulants have been associated with weight loss and slowing of growth rate in pediatric patients.
Careful follow-up of weight and height in pediatric patients ages 7 to 10 years who were randomized to either methylphenidate or non-medication treatment groups over 14 months, as well as in naturalistic subgroups of newly methylphenidate-treated and non-medication treated patients over 36 months (to the ages of 10 to 13 years), suggests that consistently medicated pediatric patients (i.e., treatment for 7 days per week throughoutthe year) have a temporary slowing in growth rate (on average, a total of about 2 cm less growth in height and 2.7 kg less growth in weight over 3 years), without evidence of growth reboundduringthis period of development.
Closely monitor growth (weight and height) in pediatric patients treated with CNS stimulants, including methylphenidate hydrochloride. Patients who are not growing or gainingheight or weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted.
The following are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling:
The following adverse reactions associated with the use of methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets, and othermethylphenidate products were identified in clinical trials,spontaneous reports, and literature. Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to estimate their frequency reliably or to establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Table 1 presents clinically important drug interactions with methylphenidate hydrochloride.
Table 1: Clinically ImportantDrugInteractionswith methylphenidate hydrochloride
| Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI) | |
| Clinical Impact | Concomitant use of MAOIs and CNS stimulants, including methylphenidate hydrochloride can cause hypertensive crisis. Potential outcomes include death, stroke, myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, ophthalmological complications, eclampsia, pulmonary edema, and renal failure [see Contraindications (4)]. |
| Intervention | Concomitant use of methylphenidate hydrochloride with MAOIs or within 14 days after discontinuing MAOI treatment is contraindicated. |
| Examples | selegiline, tranylcypromine, isocarboxazid, phenelzine, linezolid, methylene blue |
| Antihypertensive Drugs | |
| Clinical Impact | Methylphenidate hydrochloride may decrease the effectiveness of drugs used to treat hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions(5.3)]. |
| Intervention | Monitor blood pressure and adjust the dosage of the antihypertensive drug as needed. |
| Examples | Potassium-sparing and thiazide diuretics, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), beta blockers, centrally acting alpha-2 receptor agonists |
| Halogenated Anesthetics | |
| Clinical Impact | Concomitant use of halogenated anesthetics and methylphenidate hydrochloride may increase the risk of sudden blood pressure and heart rate increase during surgery. |
| Intervention | Avoid use of methylphenidate hydrochloride in patients being treated with anesthetics on the day of surgery. |
| Examples | halothane, isoflurane, enflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane |
| Risperidone | |
| Clinical Impact | Combined use of methylphenidate with risperidone when there is a change, whether an increase or decrease, in dosage of either or both medications, may increase the risk of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) |
| Intervention | Monitor for signs of EPS |
Pregnancy Exposure Registry
There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ADHD medications, including methylphenidate hydrochloride, during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for ADHD Medications at 1-866-961-2388 or visit womensmentalhealth.org/adhd-medications.
Risk Summary
Published studies and postmarketing reports on methylphenidate use during pregnancy have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There may be risks to the fetus associated with the use of CNS stimulants use during pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations).
No effects on morphological development were observed in embryo-fetal development studies with oral administration of methylphenidate to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 10 and 15 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 60 mg/day given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis. However, spina bifida was observed in rabbits at a dose 52 times the MRHD given to adolescents. A decrease in pup body weight was observed in a pre- and post-natal development study with oral administration of methylphenidate to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation at doses 6 times the MRHD given to adolescents (see Data).
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
Clinical Considerations
Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions
CNS stimulants, such as methylphenidate hydrochloride, can cause vasoconstriction and thereby decrease placental perfusion. No fetal and/or neonatal adverse reactions have been reported with the use of therapeutic doses of methylphenidate during pregnancy; however, premature delivery and low birth weight infants have been reported in amphetamine-dependent mothers.
Data
Animal Data
In embryo-fetal development studies conducted in rats and rabbits, methylphenidate was administered orally at doses of up to 75 and 200 mg/kg/day, respectively, during the period of organogenesis. Malformations (increased incidence of fetal spina bifida) were observed in rabbits at the highest dose, which is approximately 52 times the MRHD of 60 mg/day given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis. The no effect level for embryo-fetal development in rabbits was 60 mg/kg/day (15times the MRHD given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis). There was no evidence of morphological development effects in rats, although increased incidences of fetal skeletal variations were seen at the highest dose level (10 times the MRHD of 60 mg/day given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis), which was also maternally toxic. The no effect level for embryo-fetal development in rats was 25 mg/kg/day (3 times the MRHD on a mg/m2 basis). When methylphenidate was administered to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation at doses of up to 45 mg/kg/day, offspring body weight gain was decreased at the highest dose (6 times the MRHD of 60 mg/day given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis), but no other effects on postnatal development were observed. The no effect level for pre- and postnatal development in rats was 15 mg/kg/day (~2 times the MRHD given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis).
Risk Summary
Limited published literature, based on milk sampling from seven mothers reports that methylphenidate is present in human milk, which resulted in infant doses of 0.16% to 0.7% of the maternal weight-adjusted dosage and a milk/plasma ratio ranging between 1.1 and 2.7. There are no reports of adverse effects on the breastfed infant and no effects on milk production. Long-term neurodevelopmental effects on infants from stimulant exposure are unknown. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for methylphenidate hydrochloride and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from methylphenidate hydrochloride or from the underlying maternal condition.
Clinical Considerations
Monitor breastfeeding infants for adverse reactions, such as agitation, insomnia, anorexia, and reduced weight gain.
The safety and effectiveness of methylphenidate hydrochloride for the treatment of ADHD have been established in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years.
The safety and effectiveness of methylphenidate hydrochloride in pediatric patients less than 6 years have not been established.
The long-term efficacy of methylphenidate hydrochloride in pediatric patients has not been established.
Long-Term Suppression of Growth
Growth should be monitored during treatment with stimulants, including methylphenidate hydrochloride. Pediatric patients who are not growing or gaining weight as expected may need to have their treatment interrupted [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].
Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data
Rats treated with methylphenidate early in the postnatal period through sexual maturation demonstrated a decrease in spontaneous locomotor activity in adulthood. A deficit in acquisition of a specific learning task was observed in females only. The doses at which these findings were observed are at least 4 times the MRHD of 60 mg/day given to children on a mg/m2 basis.
In a study conducted in young rats, methylphenidate was administered orally at doses of up to 100 mg/kg/day for 9 weeks, starting early in the postnatal period (postnatal Day 7) and continuing through sexual maturity (postnatal Week 10). When these animals were tested as adults (postnatal Weeks 13 to 14), decreased spontaneous locomotor activity was observed in males and females previously treated with 50 mg/kg/day (approximately 4 times the MRHD of 60 mg/day given to children on a mg/m2 basis) or greater, and a deficit in the acquisition of a specific learning task was seen in females exposed to the highest dose (8 times the MRHD given to children on a mg/m2 basis). The no effect level for juvenile neurobehavioral development in rats was 5 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.5 times the MRHD given to children on a mg/m2 basis). The clinical significance of the long-term behavioral effects observed in rats is unknown.
Methylphenidate hydrochloride has not been studied in the geriatricpopulation.
Methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets contain methylphenidate hydrochloride, a Schedule II controlledsubstance.
CNS stimulants,including methylphenidate hydrochloride, have a high potential for abuse. Abuse is characterized by impaired control over drug use despiteharm, and craving.
Signs and symptoms of CNS stimulant abuse include increased heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and/or sweating, dilated pupils, hyperactivity, restlessness,insomnia, decreased appetite, loss of coordination, tremors, flushed skin, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain. Anxiety,psychosis, hostility, aggression, and suicidal or homicidal ideation have also been observed. Abusers of CNS stimulantsmay chew, snort, inject, or use other unapproved routes of administration which may result in overdose and death [see Overdosage (10)].
To reduce the abuse of CNS stimulants, including methylphenidate hydrochloride, assess the risk of abuse prior to prescribing. After prescribing, keep careful prescription records, educate patients and their families about abuse and on proper storage and disposal of CNS stimulants[see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16)], monitor for signs of abuse while on therapy, and reevaluate the need for methylphenidate hydrochloride use.
Tolerance
Tolerance (a state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug results in a reduction of the drug's desired and/or undesired effects over time) can occur during chronic therapy with CNS stimulants, including methylphenidate hydrochloride.
Dependence
Physical dependence (which is manifested by a withdrawal syndrome produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, or administration of an antagonist)may occur in patients treated with CNS stimulants, including methylphenidate hydrochloride. Withdrawal symptoms after abrupt cessation following prolonged high-dosage administration of CNS stimulants include dysphoric mood; fatigue; vivid, unpleasant dreams; insomnia or hypersomnia; increased appetite; and psychomotor retardation or agitation.
Human Experience
Signs and symptoms of acute overdosage, resulting principally from overstimulation of the central nervous system and from excessive sympathomimetic effects, may include the following: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, anxiety, agitation, tremors, hyperreflexia, muscle twitching, convulsions (which may be followed by coma), euphoria, confusion, hallucinations, delirium, sweating, flushing, headache, hyperpyrexia, tachycardia, palpitations, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, hypotension, tachypnea, mydriasis, dryness of mucous membranes, and rhabdomyolysis.
Overdose Management
Consult with a Certified Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) for the latest recommendations.
Methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets USP contains methylphenidate hydrochloride, a CNS stimulant. It is available as tablets of 5mg, 10mg, and 20 mg strength for oral administration.
Methylphenidate hydrochloride is methyl α-phenyl-2-piperidineacetate hydrochloride, and its structural formula is:
Methylphenidate hydrochloride USP is a white, odorless, fine crystalline powder. Its solutions are acid to litmus. It is freely soluble in water and in methanol, soluble in alcohol, and slightly soluble in chloroform and in acetone. Its molecular weight is 269.77 g/mol.
Methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets USP contains the following inactive ingredients: Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, D&C Yellow #10 Aluminium lake, FD&C Blue #1/Brilliant Blue FCF Aluminium lake (10-mg tablets), Lactose Monohydrate, Magnesium Stearate, Polyethylene glycol, Pregelatinized starch (5-mg and 20-mg tablets), Sucrose.
Methylphenidatehydrochloride is a CNS stimulant. The mode of therapeutic action in ADHD and narcolepsy is not known.
Methylphenidate is a racemic mixturecomprised of the d- and l-threo enantiomers. The d-threo enantiomer is more pharmacologically active than the l-threo enantiomer.Methylphenidateblocksthe reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
A formal QT study has not been conducted in patients taking methylphenidate.
The effect of dexmethylphenidate, the pharmacologically active d-enantiomer of methylphenidate, on the QT interval was evaluated in a double-blind, placebo- and open-label active(moxifloxacin)-controlled study following single doses of dexmethlyphenidate XR 40 mg(maximum recommended adult total daily dosage) in 75 healthyvolunteers.
Electrocardiograms were collected up to 12 hourspostdose. Frederica’s method for heart rate correction was employed to derive the corrected QT interval (QTcF). The maximum mean prolongation of QTcF intervals was less than 5 ms, and the upperlimit of the 90% confidence interval was below 10 ms for all time-matchedcomparisons versus placebo. This was below the threshold of clinical concern and there was no evident exposure response relationship.
Absorption
Methylphenidate in the extended-release tablets is more slowly but as extensively absorbed as in the regular tablets. Relative bioavailability of the extended-release tablet compared to the methylphenidate hydrochloride tablet, measured by the urinary excretion of methylphenidate major metabolite (α-phenyl-2-piperidine acetic acid) was 105% (49% to 168%) in children and 101% (85% to 152%) in adults. The time to peak rate in children was 1.9 hours (0.3 to 4.4 hours) for the methylphenidate hydrochloride tablets and 4.7 hours(1.3 to 8.2hours) for the methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release tablets. An average of 67% of extended-release tablet dose was excreted in children as compared to 86% in adults.
Effect of Food
After a high-fat meal, both area under the curve (AUC) (by 25 %) and Cmax (by 27 %) are higher. Time to Cmax (Tmax) is faster after a high-fat meal (median Tmax: 2.5 hours) ascompared to without food (median Tmax: 3 hours).
Distribution
Binding toplasma proteins is low (10% to 33%). The volume of distribution was 2.65 ± 1.11L/kg for d-methylphenidate and 1.80 ± 0.91L/kg for l- methylphenidate.
Elimination
The systemic clearance is 0.40 ± 0.12 L/h/kg for d-methylphenidate and 0.73 ± 0.28L/h/kg for l-methylphenidate.
Metabolism
Methylphenidate is metabolizedprimarily by de-esterification to alpha-phenyl-piperidine acetic acid (ritalinic acid), which has little or no pharmacologic activity.
Excretion
After oral administration, 78% to 97% of the dose is excreted in the urine and 1% to 3% in feces in the form of metabolites within 48 to 96 hours. Most of the dose is excreted in the urine as alpha-phenyl-2-piperidine acetic acid (60% to 86%). The cumulative urinary excretion of alpha-phenyl-2-piperidine acetic acid are not significantly different for methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release tablets.
Studies in SpecificPopulations
Male and Female Patients
In a clinical study involving adult subjects who received methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release tablets, plasma concentrations of methylphenidate’s major metabolite appeared to be greater in females than in males. No gender differences were observed for methylphenidate plasma concentration in the same subjects.
Racial or Ethnic Groups
There is insufficient experience with the use ofmethylphenidate to detectethnic variations in pharmacokinetics.
Patients withRenal Impairment
Methylphenidate has not been studied in renally-impaired patients. Renal impairment is expected to have minimal effect on the pharmacokinetics of methylphenidate since less than 1% of a radiolabeled dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged compound,and the major metabolite (ritalinic acid), has little or no pharmacologic activity.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
Methylphenidate has not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment.Hepaticimpairment is expected to have minimal effect on the pharmacokinetics of methylphenidate since it is metabolizedprimarily to ritalinic acid by nonmicrosomalhydrolytic esterases that are widely distributedthroughoutthebody.
Carcinogenesis
In a lifetime carcinogenicity study carriedout in B6C3F1mice, methylphenidate caused an increase in hepatocellular adenomas, and in males only, an increase in hepatoblastomas at a daily dose of approximately 60 mg/kg/day.Thisdose is approximately 2 times the MRHD of 60mg/day given to children on mg/m2 basis.
Hepatoblastoma is a relatively rare rodentmalignanttumor type. There was no increase in totalmalignant hepatic tumors.Themouse strain used is sensitive to the development of hepatictumors and thesignificance of these results tohumansis unknown.
Methylphenidatedidnotcause any increase in tumors in a lifetimecarcinogenicity study carriedout in F344 rats; the highest dose used wasapproximately 45 mg/kg/day,which is approximately 4 times the MRHD (children) on a mg/m2 basis.
In a 24-week carcinogenicity study in the transgenic mouse strain p53+/-, which is sensitive to genotoxic carcinogens, there was no evidence of carcinogenicity. Male and femalemice were fed diets containing the same concentration of methylphenidate as in the lifetime carcinogenicity study; the high-dose groups were exposed to 60 to 74mg/kg/day of methylphenidate.
Mutagenesis
Methylphenidate was not mutagenic in the in vitro Ames reverse mutation assay, in the in vitromouse lymphoma cell forward mutation assay, or in the in vitro chromosomal aberration assay using human lymphocytes. Sister chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations were increased, indicative of a weak clastogenic response, in an in vitro assay in cultured Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. Methylphenidate was negative invivo in males and females in the mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay.
ImpairmentofFertility
No human data on the effect of methylphenidate on fertility are available. Methylphenidate did not impair fertility in male or female mice that were fed diets containing the drug in an 18-week continuous breeding study. The study was conducted at doses up to 160 mg/kg/day,approximately 10 times the MRHD of 60mg/day given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis.
